A brief treatise supporting Cromwell's financial demands on the clergy. Active in the Protectorate, where he was Cromwell's legal advisor, Sheppard aimed to reform English law. Many of his proposals anticipated changes that were adopted in the nineteenth century. The Parsons Guide supported Cromwell's reforms of tithing laws, which were drafted by Sheppard. Our copy was presented to Sir Simon Degge [1612-1703], author of the well-regarded Law of Tithes (1676) and Parson's Counsellor (1676). The first edition of this title appeared in 1654 and the third and final edition in 1671. All editions and issues are scarce.
